Lie had married a PrtsbyU- nau uviy wno, witn their children, auanded the Rev. Dr. Lyman's Church, at tbe corner of Court aud President street. At the request of the widow tht e!er6')iao agreed to perform the funeral services, and after a brief prayer snd impressive a idres he stated that be would read the barUl srvice as adopted by the Preabyu-iUo unurca. A brother of the deotaed hereupon rose and declared that be would allow do such service to be read. s his brother was a Jew and not i hrist ao. The widow ius sted that her huabaod hsd died a Christian, and bad long ceased to be a Jew at all. The altercation proceeded to such lenjrth tbat Jxitioe Liloom.a former partner of the drad mas, caution theia that if there were any breach of the peace he would bare to see to it. The ejeotmeut of tbe fanatical brother wss suggested bj friends of tbe family who were preeent, but the Christian minister took the wise course of refraining from tbe further reading of the rcripture ine orotner men orougni iorwaru a friend, wLo, standing at the bead of the caket, read sme senteooes in (ier rran, and tbe remains were then taken to a receiving vault in Greenwood Cemetry, Mr. ilerr still angrily dec!ar ing tnai he would take legal me as ores to gsiu poeaMoe of the re initio, have iLe luu Jewish ritual perl or med over them, aud see that they were buried in a Jewuh cemetery. This moves tbe truly good editor of tbe Brook. yn Eagle to remark : To the body that lay there in the awful impassibility of death, what mattered it whtther the Christian pres bjterorthe Jewish rabbi pronounced the bentdiction ? To the spirit, irhap- iy it wss souscious of the scene, ho loQuitely little must the wrangling re ligionist have appeared in t-eir light abvUt the God who is "not the ''God of the dead but of tbe living."

The Gcldebcio ilttM i ger intimates that the News is guilty of "Cheap Joboing" in cfTericg to do tbe State printing at 40 cents. Perhaps the editor of the Messenger dees cot know that 40 cents is the aversge price paid for that class of work throughout the United States. An examination of the acts of the General Assembly of other States will enlighten tbe editor of the Messenger. When the Mews talks retrenchment to the Legislature it means it. As an earnest of its sin cerity it propeses to commence the pursuing process in its own little front jard. It is a novelty perhaps, but the .News is in earnest nevtrthelebs. Ilaw RtvaR. N.

Mr. Editok: As the Legislature convenes to morrow, and various clerk ships have to be filled, we don't think they could elect a better aad more ' satiable man as Enrolling Clerk thsn Mr. James II Webb, of Alamance. Mr. Webb ia a true aud tried Derrio ctat, veiy popular, and well known Ltriugbout tbe 4h and 5th Congies siotal Districts. He is well tilted for tte position, and a woiking Democrat.

One gal lon contains an average of sixty-five drinks, and at ten cents a drink the poor man pays 6.50 per gallon for his whiskey. In other w ords he psys $3 for the whikey and f4.50 to a man for haodiug it over the bar. Make your wife your barkeeper. Lend her to buy a gallon of whiskey for a be ginning, and every time you want a drink go to her and pay ten cents for it. By the tiae you nave drank a gal lon she will haveaix dollars and a half, or enough money to refund the two dollars borrowed of you to pay for another gallon of liquor, and have a balance of two dollars and a half. Me will be able to conduct future op erations on her own capital, and when you become an inebriate, unable to support yourself, shunned and de sp.sed by all respectable persona, your wife wilt have money enough to keep you until you get ready to till a r runic ard's grave.

He addressed the Senate at length in favor of the resol ution.de nOnncingthe txadj dollar as fraudu lent money, which having titled jn its mission abroad had returned home to cheat honest people of this country ibe amount or such dollars coined was thirty-five milliou 'dollars larger than the people bad aoy idea of. lie re viewed the course of Secretary Slier- man, and said there was deep seated hestility to silver money of every kind on his part. Silver, as money, was not receiving fair play at the hands of tbe present administration, and tboso who draw their inspirations from it. IIo referred to the s lvtr bill passed at the last session, and said tbe execution of this popular law was in the hands of its most conspicuous and pronounced enemr. He re ferred to tbe action of the New York and Bos ton banks in November last, in regard to specie resumption and silver dollar, and denounced it as rebellious sgainst the lawfully constituted authorities of the government. He predicted the fical triumph of the silver dollar, and said the people insisted that specie resumption should not rest on gold alone, but should be as strong as the reunited coinsge of salver as wall as gold could make it. At tbe conclusion of Voorhees' remarks tbe resolution was laid over without action being taken thereon. Beck, of Kentucky, submitted the following: Resolved, that a commu nication from the Secretary of the Treasury, in answer to a resolution of the Senate, passed Dec. 3rd l3o, re lative to tbe amouut of silver coin re ceived in payment of customs does during tbe currrut fiscal year and the disposition which has been made of it, be referred to committee on nuance, and said committee is authorized and directed to uake such investigation as it may deem necessary to ascertain hether the laws relative to tbe pay- mer t of customs dues and the paymeut of interest on the public debt with coin received therefrom, have been and are being complied with, and report by bill or otherwise. Laid over, upon ob jection of Edmunds. Sargent, of California, who baa been ill some weeks, occupied a seat in the Senate to-day for tbe first time this session.

The Senate at 3 o'clock a brief ex ecutive session was held. Adjourned. House. Acklen, of Louisiaus, made a personal explanation in regard to the scandal attaching to bis name for the alleged seduction of a young laly in Lousiana, and presented a resolution for sppoictment of a commi tee of three members to inquire into and re port upon the charges made against him. Defeated, on the ground that it did not embrace the question privi lege. The Ways and Means committee met to-day but transacted no business other than to decide that parties de siring to be heard with regard to the tax on sugar be given an opportunity, commencing to-morrow. Tbe Senate committee on finance he'd a meeting, devoted to tbe inform al discussion of a bill that provides for the issuance of treasury certificates of deposit to any person depositing coin or U.

About of the Impeachment Uoldeu. Correspondence of tbe News. I have seen two charges against Gov. Vance brought forward by the Merri-m;-n advocates, and ouly two, I believe that affect his position to the- Demo cralio organization. The 1st. 18, that after the party determined in caucus upon the impeachment of Gov. Holden, Gov. Vance used his influence, or rather agreed to use bis influence in opposition to the impeachment. The 2. id. is that afur the deltat of the Con vention bill in 1871 by the two-thirds vote, tbe caucus of the party deter mined .on the call of a convention by a majority vote, and that Gov. Vance in a couversatiou with some one in Wash ington City pronounced the convention oall a humbug. The writer of this was at the time a Senator and if there was any caucus called on the impeach ment question he knows nothing of it, and ceitainly would not have attended had there been such a call. He will say however that he does not believe that there was any caucus determina tion about the impeachment trial. A i to the 2nd charge, the writer of trna was present in the Democratic caucus, "kttiiloot au active part in the caucus againsr73"Cai--)Ithe conven tion by a m.ijo.ity vote, arnispfaks aovKiaoiy wncii ne u-.ns the puDlic, since caucus st-crtts is the order of the day, that tbe determination of the caucus was very decidedly against tbe mijoiity call and tbat the bill was int oducei agaiDSt the recommenda tion of tl.e caucus. Notwithstanding your correspondent's views then were that it was uuadvisable to call the con vention by a majority voto in the Legislature, as the caucus deteimined after the bill was introduced 1 advocated it, in the interest of harmony and voted for it both in the Legislature and at the ballot bx. Aud so did Gov. Vauce. I say this in vindication of the truth of history. "Lt justice be done though the heavens fall." You can use my name whenever necessary. I know whereof I speak. No one who knows me will question my fealty to the party. A. IMPROVEMENTS. Needed. A. Broad, State Policy Correspondence of the News. The earnest purpose you are continu ally manifesting in your ably conduct ed ps per tot advance the moral, intollec. tnal and material interests of the State; and your constant effort to awaken in the minds of the people a commendable State pride, , a feel log very near akin to patriotism, if indeed, it is not the very parent of so highyirtue,emboIdens me to ask a little space in your columns to enditrseHhe views presented in a rev cent number by a correspondent who "writes over the name, ''Cape' Fear." It would-be well Cor tbe State if ear legislature, and our schema of public improvement kept constantly in : view the interest of all sections and tended to the common good, but unfortunately much if our legislation has looked to mere local bonetir, any many of our railways have beun so built as bo carry from cur own towns and cities the-commercial products of onr sail and indus try and pour these into other State. The road from Greecshoro to. Danville and ven t'-.e. Raleigh and Gaston road pour our wealth into Virginia, and the Spartanburg and Abbeville, and the Chester and Lenoir, and to a certain exteut the S atesville acd Charlotte railway pour our wea'ih into the ports ol South Carolina. We need railways more thoroughly North Carolina roads. We need a road from the North-western pait of the State to the South-western part. We need a railway from Mount Airy at the foot of the Blue Ridge to Wilmington down by the Ssa, passing by and tap ping the Yadkin Kiver and running through Winston, Greensboro and Fay etteville. It was the fortune of Fay etteville, w.tl ia the memory of men scarely past the prim , to command the trade from tui Nr .h-westeru part of the State, bub now some goes to the V lrgima and Tennessee railroad, some to Danville and eonoe to South Carolina, aud the old town of Fayettevide is left to languish in business although ir people are still as good as the best. If such a line of railway as Cipe Fear suggests were completed the old activ ity of FayetteviUe would at once re turn, Wilmington would greatly in crease ner commercial prosperity, Greensboro would revive, the thrift of Winston would be permanently se cured, and the productive capicity oi the pent up Valley of the Yadkiu and its tributaries would be developed and the whole State would reap benefit. If you will look at any good map of tbe State you will see tbat from Wilkes- boro, the xadkin Itiver runs North-rat until it reaches the eastern b oundary of Surry county aad then turns sud denly South, just about Bean's Shoals wheirii freaks through the depression in the Brush v moTnrrstffl-fafifi, which runs nearly parallel with tbo m Then what qoer action lis taken by the Legislature looking to au increase of revenue to the State by the permission of this businesses simply an ac to raii-e revenue at the expense of the character and happiness of the people. If you doubt that the tendency of socity is to wate up to the fact tb-u the liquor trafic is an evil and tLat its suppression is only a mattir of time, j use note tbe language of events trans piring around you. Kansas has elected a governor who declared himself a "P.ohibitionist" and made many pro hibition speeches in , his cans;', by a voxy large ruaj jiiiy. Notwi thttacdbg, the liquor dealers and thjsir iuflutiueo were solid auainst him. Connecticut has prohibited the tafio in most of her important towns and in boh her cities east of the Connecticut river The prohibition parly is actually 'or ganized in twenty-three States. I It the -late elections, but of seventeen Sfcat6,fourtcen had prohibition tickvts in tne neia. a lew persons were elec ted as prjhibitiooisis. Iu the maiotity of States the party, ia in its infancy and in many cases did not m ike uo in illa tions, but combined on the so'-er men as in the casa of a congressman iu Mis souri. ! Then again, sir,if you doubt that tbe effect of the traffio is evil and that pro hibition is a blessing, I ask'your a ten tion to the figures in a few instances. From the best sources to which we have access, we gather that! more than one thousand persons die from the effects of liquor annually iniNorth Car olina. And as the army of drinkers and drunkards does not diminish, we conclude that at least one thousand new drunkards are made leach year. Many millions of dollars are squandered each year in the State for liquor, beside tbe enormous waste of talent, virtue and happiness. The nuunb jr; of persons convicted of crime in North Carolina in one year ending June 1st, 1870, was one in every 818 population, while in Maine, theie waa one in every 1,444 of population. j i In Northampton county, this State, as I am informed by a thoroughly reli-' ..1,1- 3 . .i i : t . auiBH.ua num. wormy cifcizsu oi inaL county, prohibition has reduced the cost of tt;e prosecution of crime more than one half, and it has reduced the average number of prisoners io the c uaty jail more than three-forths Thar, the condition of the poorer classes o! society has bjon vastly improved aad many who were dru iken and improvi dent are n 'w useful aud self-supporting citii ?ns The eame is true of Greens boro and other portions of this State and of every other State where the law prevails aud is enforced.

They, of course, entertained a great deal, and during the races at Brighton filled their house with guests. Tbe first day or two of the races the Duke, who had bet heavily and lost immense suras, ana oeing a nine superstitious, telegraphed an invitation to my par ents and self to come down, believing, he added, that I would bring him luck.

THE LIQUOK LAW QUESTION The Only Way Under Heaveu to Save the Drunkard,' Correspondenoe of the News. Warrenton, Jan. 5. Much has been said about public schools in the columns of your excel lent paper, and doubtless much light thrown upon this imporaut subject, but allow me to say, I seriously doubt both the morality and the financial wisdom of the adoption of the"Moifett Bell Punch," as suggested editorially in your issue of Di-cember 24ch. S, .. .. . - . j your umingion oorresponuenr, uuatr date of Decomber 30th, seems to oc cupy both sides of the question. He first throws hot shot into your position and then winds up by saying, "I am with you in favor of the Moffett Bell Punch." Now sir, there is no other way under Heaven to save the drunkard from his drunkenness, or to save others from becoming drunkards, but by abolish ing tbe trafic The sappressiou of the liquor trafio ia the most desirable and advantage ous thing to be accomplished. The moral sense of society is becoming more and more alive to the enormity of the evils resulting from the trafic each year. Then whatever hinders or retards this growth of publio ee:iti meat ia this direction, pushes further in the 'future 'the final dsliveranc-of society from this curse, and contii ues the destruction of humau happiness and human character just that much longer. The evil resuUing from this traffic has no equivalent ia dollars and cents.
